Milwaukee, WI – Kevin A. Carr, United States Marshal for
the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced the arrest of fugitive Marcus
Taylor. The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force and Louisville Metro Police
Department took Taylor into custody late last night after a brief struggle at a
Wal-Mart Store. Taylor was wanted by the Racine Police Department for Repeated
Sexual Assault of a Minor, and by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections for
Parole Violation. Marshal Carr stated that “catching this alleged sex-offender
was one of our top priorities in order to protect the public in both Wisconsin,
Kentucky and anywhere else he may have gone”.

After the Racine Police Department started looking for Taylor, Detective Hanns
Freidel contacted the Fugitive Task Force in Milwaukee for assistance. U.S.
Marshals were able to develop information that Taylor had fled to Tennessee
where he has numerous family and friends. Numerous leads worked over the last
several months led to last night’s arrest. Taylor is now awaiting extradition
from Kentucky to Wisconsin.
